EMP denial

On Monday, May 11th, we had a surge of power through our house so great, that it magnified the brightness of our lightbulbs tenfold. The lights and one of the circuits proceeded to burn out, and the surge fried anything that was plugged in—as a strong burst of magnetic energy would. Even a surge strip did not keep the cable box from being fried. This type of situation has never occurred in our home in over 50 years. The event occurred at a little after 13:00 pm CST, or 18:00 UTC. No source was found for the surge, only a fried wire, which had caused a burning smell in the home. Certainly a malfunctioning wire, more than like fried by the surge as well, would not cause a surge in power, but a reduction in it. Would the Zetas care to comment on whether we are now experiencing EMPs from PX on a more frequent basis? If so, would it be recommended that all electronics not in use be disconnected from their power source? Space was relatively quiet, but the magnetosphere was fluctuating widely. [and from another]http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news... The cut was said to have been caused by an electrical surge. People in the area say "Smoke was coming from the electric cupboard from 86 Deansgate when the power surge hit. 4 fire engines responded to the call". Jade Barrow is a receptionist at 86 Deansgate, and said the whole building shook. She said: "The firemen explained to me that an electrical surge is like 2 magnets hitting each other. That's why it all shook because of the force." [and from another]http://poleshift.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=3863141%3ABlogPost%... May 15. After 15 days with approximately 300 hours of missing data, it appears the uninterrupted BATSRUS RCM image feed has resumed.

Air France 447 in 2009 and Malaysia 370 and the recent Germanwings A320 are in the news because they impact the airline industry, and the blame thus placed elsewhere. To date, pilot suicide, storms, and bad pilot judgement have been used, and how is the public to know otherwise? Electric trains such as the Disney Monorail and DC Metro crash incidents in 2009 and the recent Amtrak 188 go into investigation while talking heads murmur about safety devices or track maintenance or mechanical failure, which ultimately get the blame.

It is only when the public is broadly affected that the public can get a hint that something else is afoot. Cell phones are regularly having disrupted service but the blame is placed on blocked access to towers or bad weather. The blackberry outage in 2008 was blamed on a software glitch. If the public is frankly being lied to, engineers responsible for maintaining equipment and the grid are not fooled. The talk has spilled over into the press, or into conversations with the public. During the Washington DC blackout, the electrical problem was described at first by the Washington Post as a “surge”.

This is a key determinant between a failed electrical system, a simple outage, and electro-magnetic pulse. Pulse is a surge, and the sudden increase in the amount of magnetons and their associated electrons, such that equipment controlled by a steady pace of either particle flow goes into a runaway state. When equipment is guarded by surge protection, to guard against lightning strikes, it will shut down, as a brownout situation can damage equipment. But unless a lightning strike was present, there can be no excuse for a pulse or surge other than the presence of the charged tail of Planet X, aka Nibiru.

What can the public expect? As cell phone service and cable TV via satellite continues to degrade, as airplanes increasingly crash during complete electronics failure or are forced to land with smoke in their cockpits, as electric trains surge off the tracks and brakes fail, as transformers explode at dams and on the grid, and as residential lights flicker and erratic and unexplained and spotty blackouts descend, the public can expect endless inane excuses from the establishment. The truth will be withheld because mankind is so dependent upon his electrical systems and equipment that the thought of being without is unthinkable. It is mass denial.

A commercial airline flight bound for Dallas with more than 80 people on board had to return to an Alabama airport because of smoke in the passenger cabin.

A spokeswoman for Birmingham's airport, Toni Herrera-Bast, said an American Airlines flight operated by a regional carrier departed Tuesday morning (Oct 24) but had to turn around after the pilot reported smoke..."

FAA probes second Air Canada emergency landing at San Francisco airport

MONTREAL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Air Canada and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Tuesday they are investigating a weekend flight that landed on a San Francisco runway after the crew was told to abort, the second recent incident involving the carrier at the busy California airport.

Air Canada Flight AC781, an A320 originating in Montreal, landed at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on Sunday (Oct 22) after receiving proper clearance only to learn that a subsequent message from air traffic control was not received by the crew, a spokeswoman for the airline said by email.

Air traffic control at SFO had instructed the Air Canada crew multiple times to execute a go-around because the controller was not certain that a preceding arrival would be completely clear of the runway before the jet was due to land, said FAA spokesman Ian Gregor.

“The Air Canada crew did not acknowledge any of the controller’s instructions,” Gregor said by email..."

Passengers said they didn't know what was happening because most of the plane's onboard announcements weren't in English.

Nine News reports a passenger called Leah said: "I actually picked up my phone and sent a text message to my family, just hoping that they would get it. We were all pretty much saying goodbye to each other. It was really upsetting."

"The panic was escalated because of the behaviour of staff who were screaming, looked tearful and shocked," Clare Askew told reporters at Perth Airport.

"Now, I get it, but we looked to them for reassurance and we didn't get any, we were more worried because of how panicked they were."

The flight returned safely to Perth and passengers were rescheduled.."

Usually light cuts are recorded during the summer, when high temperatures hit the city's electrical system and the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. However, last night - from 23 and when the thermometer barely exceeded 15 degrees - thousands of neighbors in several Buenos Aires neighborhoods and Greater Buenos Aires

were affected by an impressive blackout.

In some of these places, the cut in supply occurred intermittently, since in some cases the service returned in a few minutes, and in others, after returning, a cut occurred again.

EAST LAKE — Officials are investigating what caused a transformer to explode and catch fire, resulting in nearly 9,000 residents losing power for a few hours Monday afternoon (Oct 9).

At 1:51 p.m., a transformer explosion and fire was reported at the Brooker Creek Power Substation on East Lake Road, according to East Lake Fire Rescue officials. Multiple calls came in after witnesses saw flames shooting out of the building.

By 4:50 p.m., energy was restored to the 8,978 Duke Energy customers who lost power, spokeswoman Peveeta Persaud said.

After Duke Energy shut off power to the transformer, firefighters successfully extinguished the flames.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

UPDATE: Power issues occur after a fire at the substation on Virginia Tech's campus; matter resolved

People in Blacksburg experienced lights dimming and flickering, but AEP says no one ever fully lost power. But because so many people called in the issue, it registered as an outage, and customers received a mobile alert.

According to AEP around 7:30 on Tuesday night (Oct 10), a piece of equipment which helps regulate voltage caught fire. AEP says it would have caused an explosion, something a student here at Virginia Tech describe after walking by the building when it happened.

"Just from behind me I could see the sky light up, it was a bunch of different colors. I thought it was fireworks, but it sounded too loud to be fireworks so I turned around.", junior Kelsey Vick said.

"A few seconds later there's another explosion and that's when I saw it directly, and then I saw a big plume of smoke and I started walking towards it and then a few minutes later, there's cops, firefighters, and then a third explosion.".."

Blown Transformer Causes Power Outages in State College

About 2,000 West Penn Power customers in State College were without electricity Wednesday night (Oct 11) after a transformer reportedly blew out.

The transformer blow occurred somewhere on Hamilton Avenue, according to scanner traffic, and transformers were reported to be out on South Atherton Street and Beaver Avenue, causing outages in the downtown, Highlands and Holmes-Foster. Power outages were reported starting around 9:20 p.m.

According to West Penn Power, 1,998 customers in State College were affected by the outage -- about 16 percent of the company's customers in the borough. The company's website also shows 37 outages in Harris Township.

State College Police said the outage was due to a transformer issue but did not provide further details.

Alpha Fire Company responded to Cedarbrook apartments on East Beaver Avenue to rescue two students who were reportedly trapped in an elevator inside the complex.."

Electrical substation erupts in flames at St. James Parish refinery; no injuries reported

An electrical transformer that supplies power to the Shell Oil refinery in St. James Parish caught fire Tuesday night(Sept 26), leading to an uncontrolled shutdown that refinery workers had to scramble to control, parish officials said.

St. James Parish Sheriff Willy Martin Jr. said the Entergy substation where the transformer is located is the main power supply to the 227,500-barrel oil refinery in Convent. The transformer's loss cut power to portions of the huge complex along the Mississippi River and at the parish line, he said.

The transformer fire started about 8 p.m. and was extinguished later Tuesday night, parish officials added.

Shell said in a statement that after the fire started, it "initiated its emergency response plan, which included immediately deploying personnel to respond to the incident."

Francis Hymel, St. James Parish homeland security director, said plant officials assured the parish Tuesday night that they were trying to get the plant back online.."

FRESNO, Calif. — Smoke filled the cabin of an Allegiant Air jet after it landed at a California airport on Monday (Sept 25), forcing coughing passengers to cover their faces with shirts and firefighters to board the plane, authorities said.

None of the 150 passengers or six crew members was injured when the plane from Las Vegas landed at Fresno International Airport, Allegiant Air said.

As the plane was taxiing in Fresno, it came to an abrupt stop and smoke started to fill the cabin from the front of the aircraft, said passenger Estevan Moreno, 34, a Fresno police officer.

"We used our shirts to mask our faces from the smoke," he said. "I was coughing pretty good from it."

At one point, the flight crew said they would pass out wet napkins to help passengers cover their mouths, Moreno said, but that didn't happen..."

Sydney blackout: Up to 41,000 homes plunged into darkness after mysterious explosion and 'massive flash of light' leave swathes of the city's west without power

More than 41,000 homes are without power after reports of a fire at a substation in Western Sydney (Sept 26).

Twitter users began posting frenzied questions about a 'massive flash of light' in the direction of Darling Harbour and were trying to figure out if 'the power blew.'

One user wrote: 'No power in Inner West Sydney. Exploded substation? Reports of explosion.' Twitter users began posting frenzied questions about a 'massive flash of light' in the direction of Darling Harbour and were trying to figure out if 'the power blew' Journalist Laura Banks confirmed that an electricity substation was indeed on fire at Earlwood, causing mass blackouts between Marrickville and Strathfield..."
